Q: What are the key differences between the standalone units and the PSDK SkyPort models?

A: Pros of the SkyPort Kits:

If the customer plans to use DJI Matrice 200 or Matrice 210 exclusively and is going to be using different payloads often, SkyPort makes attachment and removal of camera really simple.

Power and mission planning communication between the drone and the camera.

No need to utilize the WiFi dongle for mission planning - it should make mission planning more reliable and efficient.

Cons:

The camera is not going to be versatile on multiple aircraft since the SkyPort is attached.

Premium price ($2,700 extra for Altum and $1,400 for RedEdge-MX)

Q: How integrated will the sensors be with the DJI Matrice 200? Will the Matrice 200 be able fully to integrate the sensor so that mobile SDK can properly trigger the payload and understand the changes in flight parameters so that third parties can access the information and develop it into their mission planners?

A: When plugging in SkyPort versions of RedEdge-MX or Altum into an M200 or M210, the DJI app recognizes the camera as a RedEdge or Altum. So in short, yes, mission planning software on the market can take it upon themselves to accept our cameras through the mobile SDK.

Q: What is the estimated shipping date of the Altum (Standalone & PSDK SkyPort models)?

A: Altum Kit (standalone) - barring anything unforeseen, the first batch will ship late next week.
